Interesting Christening gift?

Dont want to trawl through H Samuels and Clinton Cards for the awful tasteless tack they sell - want to find something unique and adorable! (For a 6 month old girl)

Any lovely ideas you lovely moneysavers? x

I bought my neices all a silver bracelet & charm, cost about £20 as I went to small stall in local shopping centre. Just avoid big brands & go to a little independent seller.

We bought a similar one to this for a neighbours christening and they loved it so much we got double cake!

When we had our daughter's dedication service my sister got them a heart shapped wooden jewellery box engrave with their name, message etc and inside she had bought a bracelet with their names on it for when they were a little older to wear and keep.

this is the site I used http://www.maisiedaisy.co.uk/ I asked for a hungry caterpillar theme, it was fab!

I'm sure you could make that keepsake box a lot cheaper -'tis lovely though

For my third daughters first birthday we bought a special keepsake gift as it was such a milestone for her to reach we almost lost her many times after she was born.

e got a robert sabuda pop up book - we got alice in wonderland, they are so amazing and beautiful - also quite cheap on amazon

and we got this to go with it:

but we had it sitting on a personalised box and wrapped in cellophane & ribbon.

still they sit in my daughters room and we love them

just an idea
